Apparently they made so much money up front with the game, and are such a small studio, that they can just do free updates basically forever and be fine. Plus, each update also brings new players.
@CitizenKong @jballs I understand that Sean would want to please those who were disappointed after the launch, but it says something about the lack of greed of Hello Games that they haven't charged for *any* update long after most would say that they've delivered on their original promise.
I don't play NMS all that much, but if they put out a Ko-Fi link or whatever and said "Hey, we wanna treat our hard working team to a nice Christmas bonus, but our funds are tied up in [payroll / new game development / whatever]; if you'd care to toss a few bucks their way, here's the link", I'd toss them $20 immediately. With all the enshittification of gaming going on right now, fuck yes I'd help those fucking beauties toward giving their families a nice holiday.
